Chandoo writes a very interesting blog offering tips about how to make the best use of Microsoft Excel and to chart data in general. And he announced a data visualization contest
yesterday. Contestants have to map the sales data of a
fictional company using any software. The charts or dashboards created should
help a senior manager understand how the sales people have done in the
past 24 months. The winner gets an iPod Touch 8 GB. Cool, right?
Since Chandoo announced the contest is open for sponsors, we asked him if Zoho can be the sponsor. He immediately accepted. So, Zoho Analytics is sponsoring this contest and we encourage all Zoho users and readers of this blog to participate in it.
Here's the details about the contest. If you are comfortable
using spreadsheets, this should be easy for you. Try using Zoho Analytics
for the task and see how different/easy the charting experience is when
compared to using Microsoft Excel. You can also try using our online
spreadsheet tool, Zoho Sheet.
Your comments welcome on how you charted the data, the approaches you followed, the software you used etc.
